Step-by-step instructions with examples and photos
Published: 03/12/2016 Continuing the topic of deleting (editing) photos in VK, we have come to the point where we can already delete a large number of pictures. So, in the last article we looked at the “Photo Transfer 3.0” application, and also presented an algorithm that can be used to delete a large number of different photos from a wide variety of albums.
We present this algorithm once again and proceed to step-by-step instructions on how to delete many photos at once from the VKontakte social network.
Algorithm for deleting several photos at once:
1. Create a new album. 2. Transfer all the photos in VK that need to be deleted to a new album. 3. Delete the new album, along with all unnecessary photos in it.
How to delete many saved photos on VK at once: step-by-step instructions
1. Log in to your personal account on the VKontakte social network (enter your login and password).
2. Go to the “Photos” menu section. Select the “Create Album” option:
3. Title the album so as not to confuse it with others, for example, “Photos that need to be deleted.” Click “Create Album”.
4. We return to the material from the previous article “VK Application for Transferring Photos - “Photo Transfer 3.0”, and, using the application, move all the photos to a new album that we just created for later deletion. At the same time, you can transfer all saved photos here, all photos from the wall, all photos from “my photos”, etc.
In general, we prepare all unnecessary photos for deletion by transferring them to a separate special album that we created! Launch the “Photo Transfer 3.0” application and take advantage of its capabilities.
As a result of our actions, all unnecessary photos in VK should end up in a new album, and to quickly transfer them we use the “Photo Transfer 3.0” application:
Note: the screenshot shows that all unnecessary photos have already been moved and are located in a special new album called “Photos that need to be deleted.”
5. Let’s move on to editing the album as described in the article “How to delete an album from a photo in VK. Deleting photos by albums” and simply delete the unnecessary special album with pictures and photos.
Let's move on to editing the album:
Click “Delete album”:
All. Now you can check the “Photos” section of the menu and make sure that all unnecessary photos have been deleted. Moreover, this step-by-step instruction makes it possible to delete any photos from any album, including groups in which we are administrators.
Thus, by creating a new album, transferring unnecessary photos from other places to it, deleting the new album, we can quickly clear at least 10, at least 100, at least 1000 photos that we no longer need. Fast, easy, convenient, and therefore useful! If you want to transfer one photo at a time, use these step-by-step instructions.
And this is a more advanced level of social network user than the one with which we began the series of instructions on editing albums and photos.
Perhaps in one of the following articles it is also worth studying the issue of a photo editor in VK, analyzing its functions and capabilities, and, I think, such information will also be useful to the reader. However, the task of deleting saved photos in VK from different albums can be considered completed. We sincerely hope that everything worked out for you, and if not, do not hesitate to clarify and ask through the comment form under this article.

Removing an avatar
You can post your pictures in separate albums or on the wall, and also set them as an avatar. First, let's figure out how to remove a photo installed on an avatar. The steps are as follows: 1. Go to your profile OK;
2.Click on ava;
3.Click “Delete photo”.
It is worth clarifying that all photos set as avatars automatically go to the “Personal Photos” photo album. When you delete an image, the photo is automatically deleted from the album. This also works in reverse. That is, if you decide to remove an ava photo from the album, it will also be removed from the profile photo. The action plan is as follows:
1.Go to the “Photo” section;
2.Open the photo album “Personal Photos”;
3.Click on the photo you want to throw away;
4.Click on “Delete photo”.
Actually, this is where the whole scheme for removing avatars ends. Simple, fast and easy.
How to recover a deleted VKontakte album
Alas, it is impossible to return or restore accidentally deleted albums on VK. Of course, if the page was open, then a copy of the profile could remain in Google’s cache, however, this method only implies the ability to get thumbnails, and not entire photos. Therefore, before deleting photos, videos or music, save them on your computer or flash drive. Better yet, just hide it with privacy settings if you really need to keep them away from the eyes of friends or visitors.
No services that guarantee the recovery of lost or deleted data will help here! Most likely, these are scammers trying to gain access to the page!
How to remove tags of yourself in other people's photos
During the communication process, the interlocutors’ posts may show photographs that, for some reason, I would like to delete. For example, this may apply to offensive images or disclosure of personal information.
It is impossible to remove it yourself. All actions with a photo can only be performed by the person who published the corresponding post. Sometimes you can contact him, explain the situation and persuade him to remove the unwanted drawing. However, mutual understanding in such cases is difficult to find.
In certain situations, it is possible to ask the site’s support service about this. This is possible in the following cases:
- We are talking about spreading spam.
- The pictures are downright offensive.
- There is a distribution of images for adults.
- The photos are shown to promote drugs, violence and cruelty.
The option to report a complaint opens when you visit the relevant page.
Sometimes photos are published in which the user has been tagged. In this case, you can remove the mark yourself, but you can delete the photo by contacting the author of the post or complaining to the VKontakte support service.

The author of the corresponding post, the one who saved the image, or the support service have this right.

Using images when communicating on VKontakte can make the conversation more figurative and expressive. However, sometimes photos may not be suitable and will need to be removed.

Removing photos from the page
Now let's move on to the issue of deleting photo files from your profile. Let's say you posted a photo on the wall of your page. And here there are two options: either hide the post itself from the wall, or directly the photo itself. In the first case, you only need one simple action - you need to hover your mouse over the post, and then click on the icon with a cross that appears in the upper right corner.
This method allows you to hide a post from your feed. But the photo itself will still be available in the corresponding photo album. To delete it, you need to go to the “Wall” album, which means “Wall”. There, according to the standard scheme, we find the desired photo, click on it and delete it using the “Delete Photo” function.
By the way, if you remove a photo from the “Wall” album, the post with it will remain on the wall. But instead of the image, the message “Note has been deleted or is not publicly available” will be displayed.
How to clear albums of unnecessary photographs? There are several options here. Firstly, photos in Odnoklassniki can be deleted while viewing them. We have already written above how to do this – on the principle of removing photos from your avatar.
Secondly, you can clean the contents of albums. To do this, go to the photo album and click “Edit, change order.”
You will see that in each image a small icon appears in the lower right corner - a trash can. Just click on it to remove unnecessary photos in Odnoklassniki. Actually, hyphae are removed according to the same scheme, because in essence they are also photo files.
If you have unnecessary photo albums in your collection, you can also easily remove them. We do the following:
- Go to your profile on OK.ru;
- Go to the “Photo” section;
- Open the album we want to get rid of;
- Click “Edit, change order”;
- Click “Delete album”;
- Confirm your intention by clicking “Delete” again.
Again - no difficulties.
What should you do if one of your friends tagged you in their photos, but you don’t like these photos? Unfortunately, you cannot delete the files themselves - this can only be done by the user who published the pictures. However, it is within your power to remove the mark.
What should be done? We go to the section with photographs, go to the album “In the Photos of Friends”. Next, open the image and remove your name.
If you decide to remove decoration from a photo, you need to delete the entire photo. Don't worry - the original will remain unchanged.
And at the end, we’ll touch on one more point - we’ll remove the rating from the published photos. Again, you cannot cancel the “Class” set by another user. But there is one exception: if you block a person, then their ratings will disappear.
As you already understand, there are no problems with cleaning photo albums on Odnoklassniki. The main thing is to follow the instructions, and you will definitely succeed! Well, if any difficulties still arise, write in the comments. We will solve your problems!
